(UP) State police fired today on rioting inmates at Southern Michigan Prison trying to smash their way WASHINGTON UP) President Truman told the Senate today that if it restricts use of government funds for operation of the seized steel mills it may result in "paralyzing the operations of the government in an emergency." In a letter to Vice President Barkley, the President hit out vigorously at Republican-sponsored moves to deny any funds for government operation of the mills. He said enactment of the GOP proposals 'might lead to a complete shutdown in steel and "immediately reduce the ability of our troops in Korea to defend themselves against attack."

Court Order Locks Houses Of 111 Fame Court orders padlocking four Sheboygan County houses of prostitution for a period of one year were issued today by Circuit Judge Henry A. Detling. The action, requested by District Attorney John G. Buchen, followed up the conviction of four women seized last December In raids on four disorderly houses.

Three of the women Ann Joiner of the Club Royal, Vera Bertram of The Casino, and Myrtle Bodenstab of The Farm were fined $1,000 and costs as keepers of disorderly road houses and for contempt of an earlier court order. The other woman Doris Adams of the Tin Roof paid $500 on the keeper charge. Each of the defendants entered a plea of guilty to the charges after the state withdrew an original complaint charging them with being keepers of a house of 111 fame. Judge Detling ordered Sheriff Harold B. Kroll to close the premises and "keep them closed for a period of one year from the date of the order unless sooner released by order of the court." The order will prohibit use of the biuldings "for any purpose" for the one-year period.

Violators of the injunctional order will be punished for contempt. Disposition of another criminal contempt action against Clemens Bartzen, alleged owner of The Farm, route 1, Sheboygan, was scheduled to be heard when court reconvened after a noon recess. Bartzen and three of the four women were accused of violating a modified abatement order issued by the court last May which continued use of the buildings for any purpose other than prostitution. rineer Move Not Planned Brooks said the pincer movement did not appear to be planned.

HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON Britain held veto power over American use of the atomic bomb for several years during and after World War II, but lost it with the ending of the atomic partnership of the United States, Britain and Canada. In proposing to create a new partnership a few years ago, President Truman told congressional leaders in secrecy that he wanted to share all U.

S. atomic weapon secrets with Britain and Canada. Republican leaders strongly objected. This information bearing on a major phase of American atomic policy development has been brought to light with the release of "The Private Papers of Senator Vandenberg," a volume of personal and official records from the files of the late Republican foreign affairs leader in the Senate. The 599-page book, edited by the senator's son and long-time assistant, Arthur H.

Vandenberg covers the whole range of American foreign policy from Pearl Harbor to the time of the senator's death one year ago. The perspective is that of a man who first went through a personal revolution from "isolationism" to "internationalism" and then, beginning about the time of the San Francisco U. N. conference, played a vital role in the shaping of great decisions. Although he was a Republican, Vandenberg advised the Truman administration on foreign affairs repeatedly and even shared In some of its secrets at election campaign time.

In 1948, a critical period for the President at home and abroad, Vandenberg and Senator Tom Connally, were summoned secretly to the White House one evening to learn that President Truman was greatly disturbed about the Russian blockade of Berlin and was thinking abflut telephoning directly to Premier Stalin "to see what he could do with him." Vandenberg noted in his diary that the President appeared "anxious to do something" for peace and also seemed to be aware that his election campaign which at' the time most people thought was a lost cause "sadly need a shot In the arm." It was not until later that Vandenberg learned, from the newspapers, that Truman had contemplated sending Chief Justice Fred Vinson on a peace mission to Moscow and had given up the Idea when Gen. George C. Marshall, then secretary of state, opposed it. The idea of a telephone call, which actually never came off as far as the record shows, then was judged by Vandenberg to have been a substitute for the discarded Vinson mission. The Vandenberg disclosures on atomic energy policy and proposals were checked by this reporter with administration officials in position to know the facts and to have a viewpoint different from that of the late senator.

The inquiries showed Warden Verne Fox, ringleaders said they would appeal to the other rioters to return to their cells. They were to make their appeal over the prison public addess system (at 1 p. m. EST). All available state police in Lower Michigan screamed toward Jackson in their squad cars.

As prison authorities waited for help, prison guards and a contingent of state police held the rioters at bay. The prisoners were armed with knives and cleavers from the (Continued on page 14, column 4) misleading character." He warned: "If the Communists stage another offensive in Korea this spring, the success or failure of that offensive may well depend on whether or not we have kept our steel mills In operation. This Is a consideration over and above the drastic effect a steel shutdown would have on our total defense effort." Truman repeated what he had said in a message April 9 that he ordered "temporary operation" of the steel mills by the government "with the utmost reluctance; that the idea of government operation of the steel mills was thoroughly distasteful to me; and that I wanted to see It ended as soon as possible." His letter to Barkley reminded the senators, too, that he had indicated his willingness to "cooperate in developing any legislative proposals the Congress might wish to consider" for dealing with the steel crisis. The message was sent to Barkley while Truman continued his cruise aboard the Presidential yacht, Williamsburg. Feinslnger, Arnall Meet Meanwhile, Nathan Feinsinger, chairman of the Wage Stabilization Board, and Ellis Arnall, price stabilizer, met at the White House with the National Advisory Board on Mobilization Policy for a discussion of the steel situation.

John R. Steelman, aid to Truman, is now acting chairman of the Advisory Board. Republicans sponsoring the move to cut off funds for government operation of the steel industry claimed growing Democratic support. They have put forward two proposals: 1. Forbid use of any federal funds for salaries of officials to run the steel mills under seizure.

Sen. Ferguson (R-Mich) introduced this one. 2. Deny use of any federal funds, regardless of the source, to seize or operate any plant without specific consent from Congress. This tougher version was (Continued on page 12, column 7) speaking on "Human Relations In Modern Lester H.

New Problem On Flooding Missouri River Big Education Day Program Is Held Here Businesses And Industries Are Visited By Teachers Of Public And Parochial Schools Of City Sheboygan's fourth annual observance of Business-Industry-Education Day, began this morning with Robert Leverenz extending a greeting to 424 teachers, representing all public and parochial schools in Sheboygan, Sheboygan' Falls and Kohler, at 8 a.m. at Central High School. Mr. Leverenz, vice-president of the Sheboygan Association of Commerce, and Chairman of the B-I-E Day, welcomed the group and briefly outlined the program scheduled for the day's observance. Each teacher will take two tours, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and will visit 26 different Industries and business houses in the city.

The reason behind the B-I-E program is to give the educators a first hand view of what Sheboygan offers in business and industry, and to enable them to gain a closer and better understanding of local industry. At this morning's opening session, John Dulmes also spoke briefly on the Sheboygan Guidance Center. This year marks the third consecutive year that a B-I-E Day has been observed in Sheboygan. This city was the first in the state to hold a full-day program of this nature, and one of the first in the entire nation to present a program designed to cement better understanding of industry and business by teachers. Speaking at the noon luncheon today was Carl Jacobs, president of the Hardware Mutuals at Stevens Point, and a vice-president of the United States Chamber of Commerce.

The luncheon was held at the Playdium.

The big river crested here at 15.33 feet, more than three feet over flood stage, yesterday and harrassed residents who have battled the stream for more than a week started to breath easier. Today, a drop of .04 feet was reported by Federal Meteorologist A. D.

River patrols remained alert despite the passage of the crest.

Sanial warned that winds could stir the river surface into waves of sufficient strength to batter through the sand-bagged dikes softened by the constant water pressure. So far, except for the city's north side residential district, La Crosse has escaped serious flood damage.

The six strikes, all by the CIO Communications Workers of America, started simultaneously but involved separate contracts.

Sheboygan Man Is Awarded A Guggenheim Fellowship KANSAS CITY crt Tricky weather posed new problems today along 700 miles of the flooded Missouri River, one of the world's most unruly streams. All the exports would say was that a chance of heavy rain exists. But they couldn't tell yet whpther it would hit the Missouri basin, especially the overloaded area from St. Joseph, to Kansas City. Even if it rained a full inch in the Kaw Kansas basin, they said, It would raise the Missouri at Kansas City only about a foot.

That would still be well below the level the protecting dikes were built to stand. The Kaw, a fast-acting river, was what gave Kansas City, and Kansas City, their worst flood when it poured into the Missouri here last July. It's rolling along at a low level now. Brig. Gen.

D. G. Shingler, division engineer at Omaha, stuck to his prediction that the Kansas Citys would be safe this time. But while the downstream battle was not as spectacular as the fight to save Omaha and Council Bluffs last week, it was still a hard one. Men still fought to confine the river which has driven thousands from their homes and caused millions of dollars of damage.
